BOSTON (AP) ¡ª Jack Eichel fondly remembers sitting with his dad in the TD Garden stands, watching his favorite hockey players.The 22-year-old from nearby North Chelmsford was the star attraction Sunday night, and he didn¡¯t disappoint.Eichel had two goals and two assists, including the primary helper on Jeff Skinner¡¯s winning goal with 3:13 remaining, to lead the Buffalo Sabres past the Boston Bruins 4-2.¡°I just picture myself in the crowd watching guys that I loved watching when I was a kid,¡± Eichel said. ¡°You know, coming here to watch Sid (Crosby) or (Alex Ovechkin). I picture myself in the same situation. It¡¯s always special coming back home.¡±Eichel set up Skinner¡¯s second goal of the night and his team-leading 24th of the season with a feed behind the net. He added an empty-net goal with 24.2 seconds left to help Buffalo salvage its two-game road trip after a 4-3 shootout loss Saturday at Washington.¡°It¡¯s a big win for our group in the point of the season that we¡¯re at,¡± said Eichel Jeff Carter Jersey , who played at Boston University before being drafted No. 2 overall by the Sabres in 2015. ¡°I thought we played a really good game after less than 24 hours.¡±Linus Ullmark had 35 saves for the Sabres (20-9-5), who had dropped five of seven before taking three of four points on the road.¡°(It says) that we¡¯re a terrific team. Top of the league,¡± Ullmark said. ¡°So we¡¯ve got to stick with it.¡±Steven Kampfer and Torey Krug scored, and Tuukka Rask made 23 saves for the Bruins (17-12-4). Boston has allowed three or more goals in three straight games, including Saturday¡¯s 5-3 loss in Pittsburgh.¡°To be honest, maybe we¡¯re giving up a little bit more (chances),¡± Krug said. ¡°But it¡¯s just big momentum shifts in the game where we need a big play, and all of the sudden it¡¯s a big play for the other team.¡±Eichel drew cheers from some hometown fans after his wrist shot beat Rask to give Buffalo a 2-1 lead with 14:17 remaining. He has five goals and five assists in six games as a visitor to TD Garden.¡°I just couldn¡¯t match up his speed,¡± Rask said of Eichel¡¯s first goal. ¡°He was coming so fast and I don¡¯t know if I got flat footed or what, but he¡¯s a good player.¡±Krug tied it with 6:49 to play, scoring his third goal in five games off David Krejci¡¯s pass through the slot.Moments after Ullmark¡¯s diving glove save on Ryan Donato astonished the crowd, Skinner scored his first goal with 16:42 left in the second period off Eichel¡¯s pass from behind the net.The Bruins tied the game exactly 2 minutes later after Joakim Nordstrom wrapped around the Sabres¡¯ net and fed a charging Kampfer for his first goal since rejoining the Bruins in an offseason trade.Brad Marchand appeared to give Boston a go-ahead goal with 8:02 left in the second after poking the puck past Ullmark during a scrum, but the refs had blown the whistle and deemed it a non-reviewable play.Donato drew a penalty shot with 3:29 left in the opening period after Matt Hunwick tripped him on a breakaway. On the penalty try, Donato slipped and jammed the puck against Ullmark¡¯s pad.¡°If I got it up, I would have scored,¡± Donato said.NOTES: Eichel and Skinner both extended their points streaks to six games. ¡­ Donato¡¯s penalty shot was the first of his career and Boston¡¯s first since Tim Schaller¡¯s unsuccessful attempt last Dec. 18 vs. Columbus. Ullmark had never faced a penalty shot. ¡­ Bruins C Patrice Bergeron (rib), D Zdeno Chara (lower body) and D Kevan Miller (larynx) participated in Sunday¡¯s morning skate.
